Chapter 78: "Father's Kindness, Daughter's Filial Piety" (2)
Reno merely thought that Maryse could become invisible, and if he had known about the "Invisible Cloak of Hermes" beforehand, he would not have found himself in such a perilous situation.
Maryse was already standing by Reno's side, with only a two-meter distance between them!
Now there is one more problem, if she wants to launch an attack, she must lift the effect of the Invisible Cloak of Hermes, but the sonic wave at that moment will cause the girl to suffer severe injuries.
So she waited, under the control of the Savior, for the moment when this continuous force would dissipate.
The constant pressure of the force oppressed the entire banquet hall without any blind spots. Reno knew that even if he went invisible, there was no escaping from it.
But why was she so still, without any resistance?
Finally, the power of the spell came to a halt.
All that was inside the banquet hall was crushed to dust, and there was not a single intact item to be found.
Now is the time!
Maryse's heart was filled with joyous anticipation as she eagerly sought to shed the Invisible Cloak of Hermes, unleashing her power to claim the fruits of victory.
However, her body didn't move at all.
Savior, what are you doing? Hurry up and make me move! Time is of the essence!
However, the next moment Reno suddenly pulled out an object and Maryse was stunned.
That was a pale yellow scroll, a Civilization-level Relic known as the "Script of Pseudo," possessing a formidable power to alter one's common perception!
She broke out in a cold sweat of fear, fortunately, she didn't impulsively attack earlier or else she would have been done for.
The Savior even foresaw this step!
Is he an all-knowing and all-powerful being? Capable of fully grasping both my innermost feelings and the future?
Too bad!
Could it be that when I secretly scolded him before, he also heard it? No, no!
As soon as this idea emerged, Maryse was frightened to the point that her body became somewhat weak.
Dad! Dad! My Savior! From now on, you are my real dad, a kind master. Please don't get angry! Just let me go like a fart!
Maryse was extremely afraid and had no idea how the Savior could "control the future". In fact, Bai Yan had fought the BOSS more than once and was well aware of all of Reno's tricks.
Reno remained composed, holding the "Script of Pseudo" in his right hand, while his left hand's fingers had unknowingly been broken and he was ready at any moment to trace letters on it using his own blood.
As long as you write down "script" targeting a certain goal, you can substitute any conventional knowledge of that goal.
Reno has made a decision to completely obliterate Maryse's free will.
He wanted Maryse to understand "compliance" as a common concept on the same level as "eating".
The raging inferno was finally completely extinguished.
Reno began to sneer in a deep voice, saying, "Cowardice, as always, cowardice. Are you still unwilling to show yourself? I understand, it is because of the inherent defect in your character."
"Continuing to procrastinate is also my victory, because soon there will be more guards and security rushing over, and you won't have any chance."
"Speaking of which, when we were just fighting, I broke through a certain 'mental filter', and now you must be a member of that Babel Tower, right?"
"Is it not true that you despicably pinned the blame for the 'Black Star Faction' incident on the Augustus family?"
"I really didn't expect that you would commit such an unsightly act of betrayal."
Huh?
Maryse was taken aback, completely unaware of what was going on.
Wait a moment, isn't that man a member of the Black Star Faction? What's going on here? Could it be that I have misunderstood something?
She was dazed, but quickly snapped out of it.
However, even so, since he wants to control me, there is nothing left to discuss.
I must shatter this man's arrogance.
Although Maryse had many thoughts inside, her body didn't stop, and she approached Reno more and more.
Maryse lifted her head to look at her father's face and suddenly realized that over the years, he had also become old.
This is the first time in so many years that I have been so close to you…
The father and daughter were very close, only inches apart, but due to the obstruction of the Invisible Cloak of Hermes, they could not touch each other at all.
Suddenly, a black figure flew in from outside the door!
It seems to be aimed directly at Reno with murderous intent!
Reno acted without any panic, confidently utilizing the "Script of Pseudo", his finger tracing the crimson stains emblazoning the sacred text.
"Compliance is equivalent to eating."
In an instant, Reno seemed to have aged a bit.
On the yellowed old scroll, a sudden purple lightning bolt erupted, striking the black figure with an undeniable force.
However, the black figure that flew in quickly fell to the ground and remained motionless.
Reno was taken aback as he peered into the darkness and realized that the shadow before him was none other than the guard who had been standing outside the door just moments before.
The next moment, he caught sight of the crimson eyes at the doorway, belonging to a tall, black-sword-wielding maiden.
So it turns out that his daughter's assistant arrived first…
[I command you…]
Maryse has already removed the Invisible Cloak of Hermes, and suddenly appeared before her father with a determined look in her eyes!
After twenty years had passed, she reached out and once again grasped onto her father's arm.
Reno tried to break free hastily, but it was already too late.
[Constrain yourself.]
In very close proximity, the utilization of mental strength becomes easier.
Reno could only speak with a dazed expression in his eyes, using a spell to transform into a metal chain to bind his own body and block his own mouth. The chain produced a strong vibration that made him unconscious.
